Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday said he and former President Donald Trump might not ever 'see eye to eye' on the Capitol Hill riots.

Hundreds of Trump supporters, some waving Confederate flags, stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

Five people, including a Capitol police officer, were killed.

Pence on Thursday was the speaker at a Republican committee gathering in New Hampshire.

"January 6th was a dark day at the nation's Capitol. [...] You know President Trump and I have spoken many times since we left office. And I don't know if we will ever see eye to eye, but I will always be proud of what we accomplished for the American people over the last four years."

Pence and Trump had a bitter ending at the White House after Pence refused Trump's calls to block the certification in Congress of Biden's election win.

Trump advisers say Trump remains disappointed in Pence over the vote certification issue.
